BECK named Golden Arm Award semi-finalist

Miami quarterback Carson Beck was named a semi-finalist for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award on Tuesday.

The Golden Arm Award annually honors the nation’s top senior or upperclassman quarterback who demonstrates excellence on the field and leadership off it, along with strong character, citizenship, and academic standing.

The Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Educational Foundation, and A. O. Smith Corporation trimmed their list from 58 preseason candidates to 25 semi-finalists.

The award, now in its 39th year, will be presented in December at the Four Seasons Hotel in Baltimore, the hometown of Johnny Unitas.

Carson was also named the Panini Senior Bowl Offensive Player of the Week, the Atlantic Coast Conference’s Quarterback Player of the Week, and earned Davey O’Brien “Great 8” recognition following his four-touchdown performance in Miami’s 28-22 win at Florida State.

Congratulations, Carson!

GO CANE!
